Tool for the international trader

NYTEX was launched in June 2009 and uses a proprietary algorithm which commoditizes international telecommunications minutes. NYTEX also developed the concept of trading of blocks of minutes and when used in conjunction with the algorithm allows minutes to be traded like any other commodity as in other mercantile exchanges. NYTEX provides a trading platform for wholesale carriers, mobile and fixed network operators and retail operators and acts as the central clearing house to all exchange-traded transactions therefore ensuring the delivery and fulfillment of these transactions.

NYTEX has a number of proprietary value added features such as an integrated US Dollar and Euro trading floors which eliminates currency risk, an anti-false answer supervision system and tTrader, a direct trading option. With data centers in Montreal (NYTEX), London (LondonTelex) and Brussels (Europe Telecom Exchange), NYTEX aims to create a new economy based on telecommunications trading.
